Nice day on the boat.

Also first time for over a month, but we didn't go anywhere.

There was the most horrendous quantity of sloe bird poo on deck which took over an hour with the jetwash to get rid of.

Calmed down now with reference to the sails, and have just written off Dolphin Sails as a retail organisation. Breathe in, breathe out.

Fitted snazzy new red/white lamp in the heads, and spent an hour cleaning the fridge.

Started on the jobs list as well, which is very lengthy this year, and I have a pile of kit to fit already.

Almost no one was sailing this weekend on the Crouch/outer Blackwater/ Colne. It felt like the first of the winter weekends - lovely winds and no one about.

We went up to Pyefleet - I think we saw 2 sails the whole way. Pyefleet was gorgeous in the afternoon sun - only one other anchored, and he left in the evening. Sailed back on Sunday. Bumpy coming out of the Blackwater, but then a super calm run into the Crouch. There were no sails at all on the Blackwater/Colne and the first we saw on the Crouch was a racing fleet within sight of Burnham.

And we got the engine running without overheating!!

A VERY satisfactory weekend on board.

Next week will be the real test when we actually leave the mooring for a proper run.
